of 29


4. Does this project abide by the following key elements of housing first principles (Check all that apply):

Few to no programmatic prerequisites to permanent housing entry.

Leases or rental agreements do not have any provisions that would not be found in leases held by someone who does not have a disability.

Participation in services is voluntary and tenants cannot be evicted for rejecting services.

House rules, if any, are similar to those found in housing for people who do not have disabilities and do not restrict visitors or otherwise interfere with a life in the community.

Housing is not time-limited, and the lease is renewable at tenants’ and owners’ option (RRH projects that are not structured in a way that require the household to move upon completion of the program is included- for example, rental assistance programs).

Tenants have choices in the supportive services that they receive. They are asked about their choices and can choose from a range of services, and different tenants receive different types of services based on their needs and preferences.

As needs change over time, tenants can receive more intensive or less intensive support services without losing their homes.
